A fleet of 36 tram-trains bought for more than £200m for the South Wales Metro remains largely out of service three years after the first arrived, BBC data shows. Fewer than half have passed statutory testing, and software glitches have temporarily pulled some from trials. Transport for Wales now says full service may not arrive until late 2027, some five years behind the original target.
